High school senior Michael Sattler leads a charmed life. He’s a star athlete, has great friends, and parents who love him just the way he is. What’s missing from his life is a boyfriend. That’s a problem because he’s out only to his parents and best friend. When Michael accidentally bumps into Christy Castle at school, his life changes in ways he never imagined. Christy is Michael’s dream guy: smart, pretty, and sexy. But nothing could have prepared Michael for what being Christy's boyfriend would entail.

Christy needs to heal after years of abuse and knows he needs help to do it. After the death of his notorious father, he leaves his native Greece and settles in upstate New York. Alone, afraid, and left without a voice, Christy hides the myriad scars of his abuse. He desperately wants to be loved and when he meets Michael, he dares to hope that day has arrived. When one of Michael’s teammates turns enemy, and an abuser from Christy’s past seeks to return him to a life of slavery, only Michael and Christy's combined strength and unwavering determination can save them from the violence that threatens to destroy their future together.

"Que pasa, Lisa?""We got a serious problem, Jorge, and we were wondering if you could help us out," she said calmly."Que problème?"First of all, I'm not sure at all the author uses Greek words correctly, because he definitely doesn't use Spanish words correctly. Jorge is a Spanish speaker. I guess, ...

Summary: Christy is the son of a wealthy, powerful Greek business man. Sounds like a dream, but in reality it's a nightmare. After years of horrible abuse and torture he was rescued and hidden away in a treatment center in the US. Recovering from both physical and mental trauma he tries to adjust ...

I only read the sample (first three chapters) but I wasn't really in the mood for this very intense and stylized young adult story. All of the characters are extreme versions of their stereotypes. Christy looks like an angel with golden ringlets that cascade down past his waist. Michael is the perfe...
